Miami University Exhibit Highlights Diversity in Ohio's Agriculture Sector
A new photo and video exhibit at Miami University is showcasing the diversity within Ohio's agriculture sector. The exhibit, titled 'Culture Crops,' features over 30 photographs taken by Cincinnati-based fine arts photographer Tina Gutierrez. The images capture the stories of farmers from various backgrounds, including Syrian refugees, Mexican immigrants, members of the Myaamia tribe, and legacy farming families. The project was funded by a $12,500 America 250-Ohio grant, part of America's 250th anniversary celebrations. Gutierrez collaborated with Cincinnati artist and filmmaker Asa Featherstone, IV, to include video interviews of the farmers, adding a dynamic element to the exhibit. The exhibition aims to explore the universal connections between people and their food, highlighting the social justice aspects of agriculture.
